MOSCOW, IDAHO: As the investigation of a University of Idaho student’s murder is still ongoing, one particular old bodycam footage has started to appear on various social media platforms. The short clip showed several individuals trespassing and partying inside the Idaho murder house without permission. The police bodycam was reportedly captured on September 1, around 9 PM, when authorities visited the house to address a noise complaint at 1122 King Road where the Idaho murders unfolded two months later, on November 13. 

When the responding officers asked if the individuals in the house were trespassing, they replied that they were not trespassing. They added that the occupants of the house actually went to some other party, which is why they were using the house. One officer was then heard asking them, “Who lives here? What are their names?” to which one individual responded, “I am exactly not sure. I live across the street. I just came over.” After this, the officer was seen raging at the people in the house as they were ‘unlawfully’ using the house and warned about the noise, alcohol use, and so on.

“what happening here, this is exactly how the interviews about the murders are going. It’s what kids this age do,” another added. Another remarked, "Strangers just come and go as they want? Getting fingerprints from the crime scene had to be a nightmare," Someone noted, "They should have got them for trespassing right then and there! Police letting them get away with far too much! Moscow sounds like a giant play pen full of drunk teens!" A tweet added, “This is hard to watch, as a parent." Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were murdered in their rental house close to the university in the early hours of November 13.

This new clip has emerged after an earlier interview of Kaylee’s sister, who revealed that many of the other kids in the area had access to the house and knew the code for the door. She told KHQ, “There was a keypad on their front door. I will say, due to the closeness of the community and due to the safety of it, I think a lot of people had access to that door. But yes, that door had a keypad code on it."
